Do these mailers work well for books?

Not really, I wouldn't ship a book in these, they are thin but durable. But would not protect a book from getting beat up during shipping. Your best bet would be a padded envelope. Hope this helps.

I send mostly soft items but occasionally send something encased in cardboard. I think they are fine for paperback books but you might double bag hardbound books and they are so inexpensive you might not mind that cost. Hope this helps.

I use these for almost every package I send and YES they are tough and strong--for a regular book this would be fine; for something fragile you would want a box inside or just use a box to ship. Saves a LOT of shipping costs and MUCH easier to store than piles of shifting and annoying boxes! These come in many sizes also.

Yes, these work great for that, I use them to mail a 10-page newsletter that is printed on 81/2 x 11" paper folded in half.

probably yes. if it is just for transporting then i would say yes. if you used them to store heavy stuff and the box got damp, it might not hold up. i have them full of files, just like the picture, and they are absolutely strong enough for that use. i wouldn't hesitate putting books in these strong boxes. good luck! -s

I have used several of mine for text books and they have preformed well but they are sitting on a hard surface and not stacked on top of one another. Think they would work for plates.

The sheets are very thin, I do not think it would be a very good protective mailer, cardboard would be better. They do however work great for print making.

I have not used it for books but, I love mine. Very durable and easy to fold and move.

Hey you guys, I received these today and they are just fine. I did not ask for a mailer to mail multiple DVDs, just singles. These will work out well.

I bought it specifically for sending registered boxes through USPS. No problems with my local post office.

Not as well as I would expect. They must be folded into thirds or fouths in order to get them to drop down. We use it for a payment box so I put up a laminated note to make sure folks ensure that their envelope isn't stuck in the rotating drawer part.

We send clothing and wrapped ceramics. Mailers are sturdy and should do well for a stack of papers

Yes, they would be good for paper. I mostly use them for mailing books and heavier items. They hold up much better than manila envelopes because they have a higher tear resistance. Hope this helps.

I would think so. I pack them with files of papers and they hold up. Maybe pack them a little lighter thaan normal since books are heavy.

Not the square ones or the ones printed at the bottom of envelopes on USPS.The onese that have varying thickness in the bar code work though (serial numbers, upc codes.)

Yes as long as it was packed securely. I routinely used these when I sold books on e-Bay and Amazon.com

Yes newspapers fit fine. I only pick up my mail every two or three days sometimes even four days. . The only problem I have is that my large brown prescription bottles don't fit through the slot. It is not a problem as that happens only every 90 days or so. I've just opted to pick them up at the pharmacy.

25 cardboard mailers that usually can hold up to 3 or 4 albums each. I use them all the time.

I have only printed a few, but it works just fine. I printed the envelopes out of Word. Envelopes load in the front of the printer via the manual load tray.
